Position a Part in an Assembly By Matching the Coordinate Systems

  1. On the Assemble command bar, click the Match Coordinate Systems button on the Relationship Types list.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • If you are replacing a relationship you deleted from an existing part, select the part to be repositioned.

    • If you are placing a new part into an assembly, select the coordinate system you want to match with a part in the assembly.

  3. Select a part in the assembly.

  4. On the part in the assembly, select the coordinate system to which the first part is to be aligned.

  5. Press Enter.

Tip:

  • When you match the coordinate systems of the two parts, three planar align relationships are applied to align the parts with the axes of their coordinate systems.
